Videos

In order to add a video onto your web page, you will need to input the following by hand as Dreamweaver does not have a video option under the Media tab.

The browser will read the video as follows: 1) embed - this is needed to let the browser know that a video is embedded in this space.

2) src="video.wmv" - this is the name and location of the video.

3) autostart="true" - if you would like the movie to start when a person comes to a page, then keep the setting to true. If it is a large video, you may not want to have it auto start. It could cause the page to load slowly, and may make the impatient go elsewhere. If it is a large video (more than a minute), set the setting to false.

4) controls="true" - If you want the user to be able to start, pause or stop a video, this option needs to be set to true. If set to false, no controls will show on the browser. Just the video.

5) loop="true" - if you would like the movie to keep playing over and over, set this to true. If you want it to only run through once, set this to false.

6) width & height - this needs to be set to the space you have available on your site. If you are in a table section and have only 200 pixes of room, make sure the width doesn't exceed the space or it will through your page alignment off.
